I'm on the lookout for a smart light switch that can automatically turn on my driveway lights as I approach in my car during the night. Ideally, I want something that won't confuse my car with the wildlife in the wooded area nearby. Does such a product exist? I'm not really interested in regular motion controls.

Lutron Caseta is a solid choice if you're looking for geofencing capabilities. It can turn on the lights when your phone approaches the driveway. I haven't tried others, but I’ve heard similar features are available in different brands too.
If you want something simpler, consider remote control outlets or bulbs. Places like Home Depot and Ikea have options that won't require an app. You just switch them on from a distance, which could be perfect for your needs!
You might want to look into systems that use your phone’s location to control the lights. Apps like Smartlife or Tuya can automatically turn the lights on when you get close to home. That way, you'll avoid having the lights come on for random animals!
Sounds like a good option! Just make sure your phone's GPS is accurate so it doesn't trigger at the wrong times.
Yeah, Lutron is pretty reliable. Just make sure your driveway is within range!
